Former partner sues Aqueduct video slots bidder

The former partner of a company bidding to finally bring lucrative video slot machines to Aqueduct race track is filing a lawsuit that could further delay a project viewed as desperately needed for racing and New York state.

SL Green Realty Corp. claims that its former ally, Delaware North Companies Gaming and Entertainment, wrongly used confidential information from SL Green in an independent attempt to land the state's thoroughbred racing franchise and the video slots contract for Aqueduct.
